No, I don't think so. Like I said before, I'm going to go out and play and play hard. Right now it's a little tough. I'm not getting very many hits. I'm hearing all kinds of stuff in the outfield. But, hey, I'm here to help this team win. |
Other teams aren't going to stop trying to beat us because these guys aren't playing. We got to try to soften some of the blow we have been dealt right now. |
Puck enjoyed life and enjoyed the size he was. That's who he was. |
Rather be safe than sorry. |
That's fine. Everybody's entitled to do what they want to do. But I'm not going to point fingers. That's not what good teams do. |
That's the team I remember. You bounce back like that and don't hang your head. |
These games were intense. To sweep a good team like the Cardinals is big. These games count early in the season. Our goal is to win series, but to sweep a good team is a bonus. We can't let up. |
They have the right to voice whatever opinion they want to. It's not going to make me play better, it's not going to make me play any worse. I got to get used to it and I'm blocking it out as much as I can. It is what it is. |
They talk about Babe Ruth like he's got the home run record. He ain't the home run king. He's a good player, but he's in second place. |
This one's tough, and I take a lot of blame. I feel like I should have come through in those situations. |
This one's tough. I take a lot of blame. |
We haven't been scoring a lot of runs lately. I was stuck in no-man's land. You look back on it, and it's a dumb decision, but I play hard. I play aggressive. |
We lost a lot of heart -- those two guys. |
We talked about it, we made a few minor changes. I've proven I can do it, I have the ability. The last couple years it hasn't happened. I don't think I'm on the downside, I don't think I'm sliding. I can still play the game. It's just relaxing, having fun again, enjoying the game again. |
We were all concerned. A man's going to be a man, a woman's going to be a woman. You can't change what they're going to do unless they want to change. He enjoyed life, enjoyed the size he was. ... You can't do anything about it until he decides to change. Hopefully, this will be a wakeup call. |
